What is Southside Hockey?
Course 1
Southside hockey began on a simple concept: Giving back & FUN
Southside Hockey was created with one simple idea: hockey should be about more than just winning games. Built around Chicago pride, hard work, and community, the program was designed to give players a place to develop their skills, build confidence, and become part of something bigger than themselves. What started as a training concept grew into a culture centered on discipline, opportunity, and representing the South Side with pride. This section explains how Southside Hockey began, what inspired it, and how its identity was built around the city and the players it serves.
